My Story:

The University has a really impressive Sports Science Programme, and the city centre campus was a bonus! I loved the city and the balance of city life and green space, and ever since I came to an offer holder day, I knew I didn’t want to go anywhere else. Originally, I chose Sports Science as I wanted to go into Football Coaching. However, during my time working in Spain coaching and teaching English with Sunderland’s Foundation of Light, I decided that coaching was much more of a hobby than something I wanted to do for my career. It was through other voluntary roles, such as on Lincolnshire FA’s Youth Council, that I realised sports development was something I wanted to do full time – and luckily a few months ago my dream role came up!

I like the city and think that there’s a lot going on despite its size. Even across the county, there’s actually some lovely towns out there, some that are really worth visiting. I’m lucky that I get to get out-and-about in my new role visiting new clubs and partners because Lincolnshire has a lot to offer!
